Editorial Review Product Description Introducing readers to the world of particle physics, Deep Down Things opens new realms within which are many clues to unraveling the mysteries of the universe. "Bruce Schumm's new book on elementary particle physics, Deep Down Things, is an ambitious and very successful non-mathematical description of the nature and significance of the world of elementary particles and forces. The book is for the non-mathematician, the non-scientist interested in elementary particle physics, and the young student who has not yet begun to study physics. The subjects discussed range from the wave-particle duality and basic quantum mechanical ideas, through description of the four fundamental forces, to the inner theoretical world of particle physics—symmetries and gauge theory. The book ends with an exciting discussion of what we don't know including the recently discovered mystery of neutrino oscillations."Martin Perl, Winner of the 1995 Nobel Prize in Physics "The Standard Model is one of the greatest intellectual achievements of the twentieth century. Everything around us is made of particles called quarks and leptons influencing one another by exchanging bosons. Readers who want more than a surface treatment of this modern paradigm of particle physics should turn to Bruce Schumm's fine book on the topic." Michael Riordan, author, The Hunting of the Quark Customer Reviews (44)
A wonderful book - beautifully written
A MASTERPIECE !!!
Better than any I've seen, but still misses the mark a bit
Great book

very nice overview
Excellent graduate-level introduction to particle physics
Not for the professional, and not for the lay either. I don't know what the answer is, except to warn readers to be versed in the Lagrangian before they get started.
Great Intuition
Excellent, very readable intro to the Standard Model |

Nuclear Physics
Concise overview for the nuclear experimentalist Elaborate references are given for each section that makeit possible for the reader to find additional descriptions rather easily.Additional insight on dosimetry and radiation damage and some remarks onstatistics make this book an interesting alternative to G.F. Knoll's"Radiation detection and measurement". The emphasis of Leo'sapproach is surely (a) on a concise overview rather than an in-depthdiscussion and (b) on nuclear spectroscopy (gamma and particle detection atsome MeV or so) rather than medium and large-scale high-energy physicsexperiments. Widely used components of high-energy physics equipment are,however, presented, but additional literature might be needed. One finalremark to my fellow reviewer Fabio: One example for a "statisticalprocess" is e.g. the number of electron-hole pairs created in thedetection of a charged particle or gamma ray. This process is truelystatistical, i.e. it does not depend on things that the experimentator hasat hand. The intrinsic resolution of a high-purity Germanium detector withrespect to a, say, 3 MeV gamma ray cannot be changed (at least to a largeextent). Have a look into Leo's book if you don't believe me!
Quite deep overview, but statistics... Expecially good topics: ionization and scintillation detectors;photomultipliers. Lacks: calorimetres and Cerenkov counters! For thesetopics I suggest: 'Particle Detectors' (many auth.), Cambridge UniversityPress. Just one thing about statistics: you have always to substitutethis sentence: ''... because ofthe statistical nature of theprocess...'' with ''...because of the uncertainties related to theprocess, we choose to treat it as statistical...'' OK, it's a bit longer;but are you sure that all advanced physicians know that Caos does not existas a real entity? It's just a choice of the experimenter to supply lacks inunderstanding and measuring the process or to simplify it. If you don'tbelieve so, I ask you: why do you make research?Let's talk about it. ... Read more |

Excellent book
Poor Binding
Not so elementary I also purchased the book of solutions to problems in this book.It sheds some light on the topic, but not much.Nonetheless, I won't sell this book because sometime down the road I might find it and its companion to be useful.
